Thanks nostr:npub1s0cpspspw807uyttqals7325w2mtdhje4068xzv5qg4ldunaz6lqnkdm3l! No takers yet for bitcoin payments, but itll happen. Might need some bigger stickers...
Yeah, I'm doing the same with mine. But bit more flexible as a software designer to get international clients.
After much thought I've decided to re-engage in discussion within fiat society around the daily fluctuations in local weather.
Yes good point. I failed to mention I was speaking about linking identity to UTXOs. Many more layers to the onion.
My conclusion also.
To be private you have to get everything right, all the time, forever. One mistake and the link is created undoing all the previous effort.
The intellectual honesty and personal intraspection required to truly see the horror of the fiat system is a hard path to walk even for seasoned #Bitcoin ers. They'll come to it one way or another.
When the government defines usage through regulation it's always a negative long-term. The #Bitcoin network is strengthened through attack. Compliance leads to apathy and centralisation. Bitcoin is blind to the artificial boundaries states give it but that culture leads the path of development and usage.
All good. Different monetary systems. I don't own any fiat. I spend sats for daily living. I'm on the Bitcoin Standard. I'd highly recommend nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qgkwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx7mnnv968xtn0wfnsurtqc6 book. When you do make it out of the fiat system that's when it was clearer for me. I like to replace the word $Dollar with something like "Magic Unicorn Shit" or "War Bucks". Makes the thought experiment of comparing unchanging decentralized #Bitcoin with infinite centrally controlled "dollars" easier and less loaded. Theyre all the same. Make believe.
The number on your screen in a fiat bank is an illusion. You have a moment in time to trade it for something real.
Within the fiat system. So an illusion of profit. Arguably it's not real until it's traded for #Bitcoin.
Yeild is a fiat phenomenon. If you belive yield is real than by extention fiat is a real measuring unit. Tether is purely foat financial engineering.
UTXO consolidation is just a complicated way of saying send yourself your #Bitcoin. It's fun and easy.
That's it. I buy all my food, fuel and bills with sats via #Bitrefill / #Strike. I find if I convert 100% I'm contributing even less to the fiat slave economy. Highly recommend.
I'm an introvert. People deplete my energy. I don't go to conferences. I dont like to chat. I'd rather surf and be in nature alone. It's ok to be an outsider. Especially among Bitcoiners.
